+Summary: Incorrect locale behaviour
+
+I see many "Locale not supported by C library" warnings. Seems following
+peace of code in libgnomeui/gnome-ui-init.c in libgnomeui_pre_args_parse
+causes them.
+
+---code---
+        /* Begin hack to propogate an en_US locale into Gtk+ if LC_CTYPE=C,
+so that non-ASCII
+           characters will display for as many people as possible. Related
+to bug #1979 */
+        ctype = setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "");
+	g_print("Ctype: %s\n", ctype);
+
+        if (strcmp (ctype, "C") == 0) {
+                old_ctype = g_strdup (g_getenv ("LC_CTYPE"));
+                gnome_setenv ("LC_CTYPE", "en_US", TRUE);
+                ctype_set = TRUE;
+        } else {
+                ctype_set = FALSE;
+	}
+
+        gtk_set_locale ();
+
+        if (ctype_set) {
+                if (old_ctype) {
+			gnome_setenv ("LC_CTYPE", old_ctype, TRUE);
+                        g_free (old_ctype);
+                } else {
+			gnome_unsetenv ("LC_CTYPE");
+		}
+        }
+        /* End hack */
+---code---
+
+On my machine with properly set locale (LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R) call to
+setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) sets ctype variable to C and hack always run.
+After call to gtk_set_locale() locale becomes C too.
+According to man it's necessary to initialize locale first with call to
+setlocale(XXX,"").
+There are two possibilities to do so
+1. Change ctype=setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL) to setlocale(LC_CTYPE,""). I've
+made such modification and all warnigs gone.
+2. Place gtk_set_locale() before begin of the hack.
